Already an Oscar nominee and Emmy winner, Queen Latifah is poised to add another prestigious honor to her resume. The actress and musical artist is being recognized by Harvard University for her “contributions to black history and culture,” according to CBS. The “Star” alumna is among this year’s recipients of Harvard’s W.E.B. Du Bois Medal, named in honor the writer and civil rights pioneer. Du Bois became the first black student to earn a doctorate from Harvard in 1895.

Harvard’s Hutchins Center for African and African American Research will present the medals on October 22. Other honorees include poet Rita Dove and co-founder of Black Entertainment Television Sheila Johnson.

Latifah received an Oscar nomination for her role in “Chicago.” She won an Emmy for exec producing “Bessie,” an HBO biopic about blues singer Bessie Smith that she also starred in. “Flint” and “Girls Trip” are among her recent credits. Her upcoming projects include “Paper Chase,” Angela Tucker’s teen comedy about a college-hopeful who can’t afford tuition, and “King of the South,” a biopic about hip-hop mogul Master P.
